Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / December 2007Atlanta - Places to stay, things to do
We are thinking of going to Atlanta over New Years. How are the roads from Cincy, where is a good place to stay and what to do there? I don't see any state parks nearby. > We are thinking of going to Atlanta over New Years. How are the roads from > Cincy, where is a good place to stay and what to do there?

If there are any parks open, I imagine the water would be turned off at the sites. Atlanta is famous for its ice storms. Don't bother with the new World of Coca Cola. We went this summer and it was a major rip-off. Very expensive to park and to get in.  SignatureJanet Wilder Bad spelling. Bad punctuation Good Friends.

Janet, I'd be willing to bet you're mistaken about RV parks being closed in winter, or not having water available, in the Atlanta area. True, they do have an occasional ice storm and an occasional bitterly cold night or two, but the typical winter lows are not unreasonable. Atlanta is a Deep South city. It just ain't that cold there.

My sister used to live there and every time she had a family wedding or something there was an ice storm and the roads and airports were all closed. Then there was the super bowl ice storm thing. Too cold there for me. I need a parka if it's less than 70. <g> SignatureJanet Wilder Bad spelling. Bad punctuation Good Friends.

Broke record highs several days this month. We've had 2 mornings with ice slivers in the bird bath. It's cool and RAINY now though. Maybe my water tanks will refill again? Tom J who you couldn't run out of the Atlanta area >It's cool and RAINY now though. Congratulations! Maybe it'll make it up our way before it fizzles out. I checked the radar, and it is in fact moving NE, which is a good thing. GB in NC >> We are thinking of going to Atlanta over New Years.

Jones Trailer Park off I-85 just north of the loop is open all year and I believe there is bus service from there to the Marta train station that takes you all over Atlanta. The Atlanta Aquarium is worth a day and CNN center is well worth the cost of a tour, both within walking distance of each other. The Cyclorama is worth the admission with it's history of Sherman's march through North Georgia. A Gray Line Bus Tour last all day and takes you to the major sights to see, such as Margaret Mitchell's home, the King Center, the Capitol, Sweet Auburn, etc. Tom J >>> We are thinking of going to Atlanta over New Years.

The RV sites are rarely used and the water is terrible. When we stay there we stay at Stone Mountain. They have plenty of space and it is reasonable to drive to from anywhere but Columbia. There are very few other alternatives near Atlanta. Our son and family live near downtown so we go there a lot. Since it is close, sometimes we just drive down from Knoxville and stay at a B&B.

Thats where we stay when we're in the area. SignatureOwen McKenzie I have my faults, but being wrong isn't one of them. |
